TODAY’S WORD FOR MONDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2015.
ETERNITY
Infinite time; duration without a beginning or an ending; endless period of time; forever.
That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:15.
For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23.
Have you ever tried to imagine what eternity is like? It is very difficult for our finite minds to grasp the concept of life going on and on with absolutely no end. This is because here on earth life has a beginning and an ending.
When our life ends here on earth it is the beginning of eternity. It will either be an eternity of death or an eternity of life.
In the two verses we have listed above both John and the writer of Romans tell us that eternal life is a gift that God offers to every one of us. This gift of life is obtained when one believes in Jesus as their Savior and Lord.
It is a fact that all of us will spend an eternity either with God in heaven or with Satan in Hell. There is no other choice or option. May we remind you that in order for you to spend an eternity with Jesus in heaven, you must ask Him for forgiveness of your sins and accept Him as your Savior.
The option, which many people have taken down through the years and are taking now, is to ignore the issue, but ignoring the issue does not make the issue go away. Hell is automatic if you do not believe in Jesus so each one of us have to make a choice.
Our first choice is to accept Jesus as our Savior and spend an eternity in heaven with Him. The second choice is to do nothing or reject the first choice and go on living life as you do now and spend an eternity in hell. So we ask you, “Where will you choose to spend eternity?”
Many people just do not want to believe that their unforgiven sins will bring condemnation to them. They do not believe there is a heaven or a hell. But the fact is and the scriptures make it clear that heaven is a real place and so is hell. Hell is spoken of over 162 times in the New Testament alone. Jesus preached on hell more than any other subject. Heaven is found 276 times in the New Testament.
People are searching for real peace and hope in their lives. The only real peace and joy that a person can experience in life is to know with a certainty where you will spend eternity. Have you made that choice?
Our memory verse for this week is found in Hebrews 11:6.
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Thank You, Lord, that I can be certain where I will spend eternity. It is my prayer today for those who do not have that certainty and that I will be led by You to those today that need to have that certainty in their lives.
